In a new partnership with publishers Harriman House, Share Radio has produced its first audiobook 'Superinvestors', written by Matthew Partridge and read by some of Share Radio's best known presenters. 'Superinvestors' lays bare the investing secrets of legendary investors - from early 20th-century figures such as Benjamin Graham and John Maynard Keynes, through to more modern names such as Anthony Bolton and Warren Buffett.

We select the best bits of our output, so you don't miss a thing.

The Bigger Picture is Simon Rose at his presenting best. He regularly enjoys digging behind the headlines to find the really interesting stories that are being talked about by economists and think-tanks which are helping to shape the conversations in Whitehall. From the Adam Smith Institute to the Taxpayers Alliance, to the wonderful Professors Steve Keen and Tim Evans, Simon brings the latest political and economic thinking into sharp focus.

In our 'Book Review' slot, we invite top authors into the Share Radio studios. No topic escapes our attention, from share trading to French history and everything else in between. We are always looking for interesting authors, so do get in touch.

James Cameron-Wilson our regular money man talks us through the films doing the business at the box office, and Simon Rose interviews screenwriters, producers and directors.

Our half-hour business documentary series where we go behind the scenes of interesting companies both large and small, looking for the human stories behind the financial numbers and analysing the who, why, where, what and when of business at the sharp end.

This series of interviews and discussion pieces asks the kinds of questions we would expect of a typical economist. In the series, Peter will tackle issues such as discrimination; whether there is a role for unions in the gig economy; what we might be able to do to alleviate London’s accommodation crisis and what is wrong with the UK education system. Through discussion with experts, the show will help to inform listeners about the key issues that matter in these debates.

Stocks may rise and fall, businesses may boom and bust, but gadgets keep appearing at an ever-increasing rate. Share Radio’s Gadgets & Gizmos show explores the latest technological innovations, from the indispensable to the downright ridiculous. Show host Simon Rose and technology editor Steve Caplin take a weekly humorous look at what’s on offer, featuring both existing products and those whose inventors utilise crowdfunding platforms to make them a reality. Through its 100-plus shows, Gadgets & Gizmos has delved into the world of wifi, Bluetooth and exploding lithium batteries, reviewing gadgets of interest and ridiculing those that should never have got off the drawing board. Where some financial journalists tell you how to make your money grow, Gadgets & Gizmos tells you how to spend it – and when not to.

Too little of this music is played on air, so we think it's appropriate to redress the balance with this people's music. Enjoy!
